What happens if you meet with a scammer?
One, you ignore them.
Two, you scold them.

Or three, you don’t ignore them or scold them but troll them instead.
And I get why some people would rather go for the third option because it’s just so satisfying.
Here’s What Happened
On 29 Oct 2018, Jq Grace Sim uploaded a personal experience with a scammer on Facebook.
He had wanted to sell his car on SGCarMart and was approached by a guy who claimed to be from Germany.
So here’s how it got started.

So there you are, thinking, what’s next.
And this is what Sim replied when the scammer asked for his PayPal details.
- Paypal name: chaonima
- Paypal address: nimamameiyoumao
- Address: 89 puki ma kau Singapore 8989889
And the scammer’s reply was pretty epic too:

Poor guy.
Now The Scam Really Get Started
So there you are, wondering, how is it a scam if the scammer’s offering to pay for everything.
Well, it all starts now.
The scammer asked Sim to foot the shipping fees first and promise to include the shipping fees in the full payment.

When Sim attempted to bargain on the price, the scammer decided to cut his losses and accept a lesser amount.
And Sim readily agreed.
However, Sim ran into a problem and decided to ask the scammer for advice.
And the scammer teaches Sim what to say in order to get the money sent. Including lying about the purpose of the transfer.

After visiting a second Western Union and failing to transfer the money, the scammer decided to ask Sim to make payment via Bitcoin.
However, Sim was quick to assure him that he was the real deal.

By taking pictures of a familiar note we’ve all seen before in Singapore.
Scammer dude was reassured at the authenticity and sincerity of Sim and decided to let him get the cash over his own way.
Then Sim told him about a new money transfer method.
And he kindly showed him.
I’m pretty sure you’ve guessed that.

Sim even kindly included a picture of the lady who advised him to burn money to him.
And it all comes to a satisfying end.
Moral of the Story:
If you meet with a scammer, don’t be afraid to have fun with him. But at the same time, don’t give out personal details.
Oh, and it’s a good idea to upload it to Facebook after because us Singaporeans appreciate these kinds of uploads.
Scammer: 0 Sim: 999
Payback’s a b*tch, b*tch.
